Original Lyrics:

We come into your town We help you party it down We're an American band.

Hocus Pocus was once an opening act for Grand Funk. Their hit song was 'Focus.' In this song the phrase, 'Up all night with Freddie King, I got to tell ya' poker's his thing .' (allegedly mistaken for 'Hocus [is] here to sing.' One reason for the alleged mistake was public knowledge of Don Brewer's alleged admiration for Hocus Pocus's singing abilities.
